EntrepreneurTrek grew beyond the MIT/Stanford Venture Lab's scope and now operates as a separate non-profit. Many of Bay Area investor and startup communities have confirmed their participation and interest in connecting with young entrepreneurs and getting access to early stage ideas.
Now, it's a 2-day intensive program designed to help MBA students and young entrepreneurs network and sharpen their tool kit for securing funding and seeking a rewarding job or internship in the startup space. Over 1000 (mostly MBA) students and alumni from the top 30 schools (e.g. Chicago GSB, Cornell, Stanford, India School of Business, MIT Sloan, Wharton, etc.) are expected to attend with well-vetted business plans and a chance to pitch in front of a live audience and potential investors.
